Sangiovese was pioneered in Australia by Coriole Vineyards with the first plantings in 1985. The fruit is sourced from some of the oldest producing Sangiovese vines in Australia with the 2020 vintage being Coriole’s 33th consecutive Sangiovese release. The 2020 vintage is bright and pronounced showing an alluring mix of dark cherry, red berries, rose and dried herbs on the nose. The palate is medium bodied with great depth of flavour showing more cherry, raspberry and mixed spice. Fine but firm tannin give the palate great persistence and drive.
Food pairing: This wine would pair beautifully with a mixed mushroom risotto or for a late afternoon tipple, team with cured meats and pickled vegetables.

string(696) "Italy’s great red varietal and certainly ubiquitous in its homeland. Sangiovese has a beautifully sleek flavour profile of red cherries and earthy aromas of tea leaf. Though not as aromatic as Pinot Noir or Syrah, it does marry extremely well to oak and is particularly favoured as a foil in Cabernet-based blends. The ‘Super Tuscan’ movement in the 1970s and ’80s, led by wines such as Antinori’s Tignanello, recognised the strengths of Sangiovese when paired with international varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The growth of popularity has seen it appear in countries like Australia, where stunning examples can be found in McLaren Vale, Adelaide Hills and Coonawarra."
